"Therefore, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures may
we also have hope of consoling ourselves after the afflictions of our
distress when we too have been patient in tribulation and call to mind
the actions of those who have far excelled us in righteousness and merit
and borne far greater trials of adversity than we. For they, on account
of the righteousness in which they were quite exemplary, often suffered
the persecution of the unrighteous, in order that, by their exercise of
righteousness, they might receive the crown of invincible patience, and
might, moreover, leave behind for all who followed them the glorious
footprints of their perseverance to mark their way."

The Venerable Bede.

"Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the
world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the
world makes himself an enemy of God." James 4:4

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
